I figured in 3 yrs I would've saved more than enough to pay the $19k plus taxes needed to buy the car out.

Also, if the car gets into an accident I can have the option to ditch the car instead.

Pay a little extra for new replacement on your insurance & leasing (with or without money down) seems the way to go.

oh & Congrats on the 135i :w00t:
